You can accomplish keeping the pr and related ibl's if you don't change the whois information. If it goes into an auction... its not as good - you could be totally screwed. You want to get a domain before it expires. If it does expire, and the whois changes...< red flag. Ideally if you can get a domain name from someone who wants to sell it, ask them if they would consider leaving the whois the same for a while. Change the host, and slowly build up content and backlinks. Don't build links fast after receiving the domain because thats really going to throw up some flags. Baby steps. 6 months or so after the purchase change the whois.
The idea is to make the transition seem natural in an effort to avoid raising any potential red flags alerting SE's of an ownership change.
