He probably meant to say clogged radiator core, not heater core. A decent possibility especially if it is original.

I love $500 Mercedes. Just be aware that I expect to spend a minimum of $2-3K to make it what I consider to be road-worthy when I buy one. Done it twice now, and not disappointed. There's always stuff like rubber suspension stuff, brake hoses, bad calipers, warped rotors, etc. etc. etc. etc.
