Maintaining PR on expired domain

What is the method which you have used to maintain PR on a expired domain you have purchased.

I am waiting for an auction to end for a domain I want. The domain was a PR2 domain with a couple hundred backlinks, several are PR5 and lower. The domain has 4 pages of indexed pages in G. It is a 7 year old domain.

The website from what I can see, was just being used as part of a network to sell links on. It just has pages of articles with an outgoing link to money sites.

The reason I found the domain, I was from looking at backlinks from a competitor website.

If I get it, should I just build back what was there and just point to my site. How do I keep this PR, I know I need to make backlinks, but what else should I do. Should I just 301 to my site? or have content as it had and build backlinks to my money site?

Thanks for taking the time to read and contribute.

    My understanding is that it's a good idea to turn on whois privacy immediately when you take over the domain to help protect the PR.
