Not inevitable, but you are literally flipping a coin on it if you buy a used model. The newer console designs aren't nearly as susceptible to it apparently which is why there is no reason to take the chance on a used console.
Estimates range from about 20% to about 50%, but Microsoft has never released the actual statistics concerning the RROD failure rate, so it's not a definite 50-50 chance. Secondly, you're not literally flipping anything, unless you in fact buy the console and then flip a coin to see what your chances are.
