That's a bit contradictory, innit? You accuse him of "not even knowing it should have one", then go on to ask if you need one!
The answer is, no, you don't need one, as it has a sewn in groundsheet.
The advice/recommendation, however, from the vast majority of folk on here, and I include myself in that majority, is that it is (extremely) wise to have one, for all the reasons Mrs Stin... erm, the above poster, states.
The previous owner may not have been aware of such an option, or maybe even decided he didn't want to bother with one, but either way, it wasn't the case that the tent he sold you "Should have had a footprint with it." It is not an integral part of the tent, merely an OPTIONAL extra.
Oh... and a tarp/any waterproof groundsheet from builders merchant etc will be just fine... just make sure it ends up slightly smaller than the perimeter of the tent base, so it doesn't protrude anywhere, where the rain can land on it (which may just run under your tent, but over the said footprint, and no doubt remain as a trapped puddle, as there is no escape!)
