Ya pays yer money.. ya takes yer chances...
No one really knows the % of incidents, except to say that it does happen more often than one would expect to still call the motor design reliable.
That's not to say they will all blow-up and the '00 (being of the old design) is less likely to do so than the newer ones.
Also, mileage seems to play a role. It seems from anecdotal reports that once the car goes 40k mi. or better, the odds improve dramatically in your favor.
