The previous owner may have put a cooler thermostat something like 170 degree, he could have taken the thermostat completely out, or the thermostat could be stuck in the open position not letting the car come up to temperature. If there's no thermostat or it's not operating correctly it takes a long time for the car to get warm enough to make heat.
