AppleCare on refurbished +OOW repair

[whoknows87]

I did a quick search and I'm getting conflicting answers, I was thinking of purchasing an Air, but it was a refurbished Open box ( 2012 Model) from an authorized reseller, they said they only offer 90 days warranty and that the product is not eligible for AppleCare and is not covered by the standard apple 1 year warranty.... another rep actually told me that it has 1 year from the original purchase date, if that's true wouldnt it be eligible for AppleCare as well?

can anyone confirm or reject this?
