It is hard to say whats going on without seeing the vehicle.

But if the the vehicle is up for sale and the heat is not working. And a mechanic looked at it and said it is one or the other. It sounds like the mechanic rigged the mix doors to compensate for a repair that was not performed.

If the car was repaired properly, the heat and AC would both function.
