There are several generations of AutoPilot.
The first generation (AP1) used MobileEye technology, and has limited functionality in driver assist mode (primarily lane keeping).
The second generation (AP2, AP2.5, AP3) uses Tesla's technology with more sensors and (based on Tesla's claims) provides more driver assist features and is (theoretically) capable to achieve FSD in the future (after testing and regulatory approval).
AutoPilot (AP1) was an optional feature requiring activation either with the original purchase or after delivery.
Same was true for AP 2 (and later) - with Enhanced AutoPilot and FSD has configuration options or available for activation after delivery.
Tesla has now made AutoPilot (check the website to get the complete feature list) standard and still requires FSD to be purchased.
So there are multiple configurations of AP/FSD - and not all used vehicles will have these features activated - requiring more details to determine exactly what hardware is present in the vehicle - and what features have been purchased.

"Autopilot with convenience features" or "Tech Package with Autopilot" is AP1.
A few AP1 cars with AP1 hardware but not software enabled might be listed as "Autopilot Hardware"
Everything else is some version of AP2+.

I have a 2017X100d, and I've paid for FSD, but not sure it was the right choice. In checking into purchasing a new one, the standard equipment apparently includes something called autopilot, but still charges an extra $7k for FSD. In reading further, it seems that the standard equipment includes auto steer. Crikey--that's all I want from an auto-pilot copilot. If the FSD only gives you navigate on A
P, that's just not worth 7k. Is it?
You also get lane change with auto steer + navigate with autopilot. What I really think you’re buying is an alleged guarantee for upgrading as needed if/when FSD becomes reality. FWIW I kept my 7K, maybe I’ll buy 7K of Tesla stock ...
