It is a real site with spanish content on.
Would google immediately downgrade the PR on this domain if the content was changed to english?
not neccessarily but a good possibilty.
The thing that matters is "why" it has the PR it does and whether or not that "why" remains in place after the purchase.
Buying a domain strictly for the green pixels isn't something I do.

After you purchase that Spanish site/domain, will you be continuing it? Or change the entire content and use for any other purpose?
The idea was to completely change the webdesign and add my own unique content, & put 1 or 2 back links to my site, but no other links to any other websites.
CrankyDave: How would i find out how a site has pr in the first place?
The PR won't hold up.. We were doing some testing on these things and watched a PR7 drop to a PR3 (all toolbar ranks) about 2 months after the content switch.. We didn't test much because we didn't want to burn up older sites for no reason, but, the theory we are working under is that if there is a change of ownership and a major content change, the link profile gets reset at the registration date..
Easy enough to do on Google's part..

Do in depth research on the links. Where they are, who owns the sites. etc.Originally Posted by fulleffect
For example... if a large majority of the links reside on sites that seller owns directly or indirectly, you can expect them to disappear.

Changing that much content will cause the PR to fall atleast a couple of ranks maybe. The Cons would be the price and i don't see many Pros as far as you intend to change its contents completely.
If the whois information changes the PR will also.
It's what we've seen in the past.
