The original factory warranty likely included a limited powertrain warranty (covering engine, transmission, etc.) and a basic bumper-to-bumper warranty, both with a duration and mileage limit (usually 3 years/36,000 miles for bumper-to-bumper and longer for powertrain). Those warranties expired long ago for a 2012 vehicle.
To know what warranty, if any, might apply to a *specific* 2012 Buick Regal, you'd need to look at:
* Any existing extended warranty paperwork: This would be the only possible source of active warranty coverage.
* The vehicle's history report: Services like Carfax or AutoCheck might indicate if extended warranties were ever purchased.
In short, any "basic warranty" on a 2012 Buick Regal is almost certainly expired.
