I've recently bought a 2017 15" MacBook Pro from Trade Me.

These models have a keyboard which can fail easily and require an expensive repair.

If I have the original purchaser's receipt for the computer, which was bought directly from Apple, am I covered by the CGA even if I'm the second owner? It was bought 5 months ago.

I'm debating purchasing AppleCare to extend the warranty so I'm covered if they keyboard breaks, but if I have a 'reasonable period' to claim any possible faults under the CGA I won't bother with AppleCare.
