Does the A/C work properly? If you ask for cold, does it get cold, and then go to heat? If so, then the flap is working - it impacts both hot and cold air.
Is the temperature gauge reading normally?
Heater cores usually leak, but they don't usually plug up. The car is new to you - it is possible that the cooling system has air in it? That would form a bubble in the highest part - the heater core. It's possible that the former owner let the cooling system level run down and suck in air. It's possible the thermostat was put in incorrectly, and the system won't bleed. There is no way to bleed a 9000 system. But you might think about replacing the thermostat - they do wear out, and it would be a good part of bringing it up to snuff.
