    you need to have a good content website in order to get PR...
    still not sure abt it...

    No it can't. PR depends on your content. A domain is a name not content. So you will need to back it up with content.

    The only other way to get a domain with PR is to buy an old domain name that had PR previously.

    It can if it is an older domain which was dropped or the site closed between updates. However, the good reason not to buy dropped domains for PR is because the PR does not always stick during the next update. It may show PR but as soon as the next update comes, it could lose that PR.

    Here is an example, I worked hard on building links and good content on a site and then I sold it. It had PR3 when I sold it and the next update was PR5. The guy took the site down for about a month and a half and now it is back up with my same content and it now has no PR. Google took it all on the last update. He may be able to get it back but until then his site shows no PR.

    Allout is spot on.

    In addition, nowadays unused domains almost always resolve to a parking page.

    If you don't park the domain, you registrar usually does.

    I've seen parked domains retain their PR for over a year without any proper content on them.

    Most do lose their original PR though, especially if they've been through the full deletion cycle.
