Expired Domain's PR and back link?

[llegent]

Hi everyone. I am trying to get into grabbing some expired domain name. Well, some domains seems good to me as they are currently having google PR and/or some back links in the major 3 search engines.

Yup, I am quite surprise to see that those expired domain are having some back links and even google PR. Most likely the said domain is just expired few days ago, and search engine have yet to synchronoze their data centre on this domain status change.

So now, if I were to grab and register these domains before the effect of expiration took place, would I be able to sort of "securing" the PR ? meaning the PR wouldn't drop?

What about the existing back links? Would it be still in effect?

If the sites are still linking back to you, the backlinks won't drop.
Google updates it Pagerank at around every 3 months (they can't look out for every expiring domain ) and even when Google does do it's update, if the domain you snatched still has enough backlinks, you will still get a good Pagerank

you'd want to get a domain related to yr eventual business though.
no sense getting HotCars.com and sell pet food...
