Since you appear to be in contact with the owner under whose AppleID the Mac is registered to, have them sign in https://supportprofile.apple.com/ and see what Apple reports for the unit. In order to be eligible for AppleCare coverage, it has to say that "Repairs and Service Coverage: Active" and will even offer "Get the AppleCare Protection Plan to extend the technical support and hardware repair coverage to 3 years..."
Note that they can buy and activate AppleCare already, you work out the details of the payment. AppleCare belongs to the device it is activated for, so it transfers when it is sold to someone else.
IFF you do go thru the sale, MAKE SURE the previous owner follows this: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac - Apple Support
