Maybe. But if you browse the classifieds you'll still find quite a few with 'engine rebuild at 50,000' or whatever in the text.
I'd just get a well serviced one with 60 - 90,000 miles and risk it, but YMMV.
The bore scoring thing is the shitter. It seems that it's one very specific set of circumstances that causes it and that can happen at mile 100 or mile 200,000, or never.
