Sounds like a plugged radiator. Did the prior owner replace the radiator with a used one from a junk yard or add anything to the coolant? Does the owners manual call for Dex-cool vs regular antifreeze? The two are not compatible and plug your system up. Pull the radiator and take it to a service that can boil it out and pressure test it. Also want to back flush the entire system, especially the heater core.
