The Buick Regal was not manufactured for the North American market between the 2005 and 2010 model years.
- The Buick Regal was not sold in North America for model years 2006 through 2010.
- No Engine Coolant Temperature Sensors exist for a 2006-2010 North American Buick Regal.
- Online part listings for this year range are incorrect and should be disregarded.

Vehicle Production Information
The Buick Regal was not produced for the North American market for the model years 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010. Production was discontinued after the 2004 model year and did not resume until the 2011 model year. During this period, Buick's mid-size sedan was the LaCrosse, which replaced the Regal and Century.
Because the 2006-2010 Buick Regal does not exist in North America, there are no new aftermarket or OEM Engine Coolant Temperature Sensors manufactured for it. Any part listings seen online for this specific year range are incorrect and may be for the earlier generation (ending in 2004) or the later generation (starting in 2011).
Common Sourcing Mistakes
Verify Your Model Year: Owners who believe they have a Regal from this period may have a late-2005 registered 2004 model, an early-2010 registered 2011 model, or a different Buick model entirely, such as the Buick LaCrosse. Always use your vehicle's VIN to confirm the exact year, make, and model before purchasing parts.
