Tossing rods

I have a 1995 Saab 9000 CS with the 2.3 LPT engine. I was driving down the interstate and it was running fine, although I started hearing this clatter and then the clatter became a pounding leading to a stall. I had the car towed to my mechanic and I find that I threw a rod in my #3 cylinder out through the engine block. This car only had 113,000 miles on it, is this a common problem with this year? I thought these things were built better than this. What is more perplexing is that I had no prior warning signs as my oil light was not on and my temperature guage was reading normal. Since I am still making payments on this car (I bought it used last year) I have decided to put a used engine in it. Am I to expect this to happen again and has anyone else experienced this?
