Aged Domains - Setup

I'm looking to purchase a domain from a random dude on the interwebs. What a life we live in 2019

It's got 8+ years of history in my niche.

It dropped in March this year and this domain company registered it.

So now the WHOIS shows as registered 200+ days ago - the landing page has been one of those parked websites with couple sponsored links + 'domain for sale' sign.

Now, my question to you brilliant minds is, if I buy this domain and register it under my name it will update the WHOIS to 'last updated 7th July 2019'.

--> Will this make a difference vs a brand new domain I buy?

1) All pages are still indexed on google
2) I'm going to reconstruct the site with same theme as previous site + same logo
3) Same niche content will be deployed on it
4) It has some strong follow backlinks to homepage (juice puppies)

Last updated will still be within the 200+ days since it was not dropped.
The WhoIS will change once you move the domain into your domain registrar account with your name.. But you can buy a whois guard.

Personally, if the domain was ranking before it's dropped, I think it will find it's way to the top of google easier than newer websites.

Thank you for your insight.

So for those looking for actual ages (years) domains, you would need to find someone who has held it for a long time?

Right now, this site will be seen as 200+ days old only, Google won't take into account it's 10 year history, right?
