When you buy a car, an implied warranty comes with it even if the seller doesn't mention it explicitly.

This is a fundamental concept in both American and Brazilian consumer protection law. In Brazil, 'garantia implícita' is protected by the Código de Defesa do Consumidor (CDC - Consumer Protection Code), which automatically grants consumers protections without requiring explicit mention. In the USA, the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) governs implied warranties in commercial transactions. Both jurisdictions recognize that consumers should not be bound by 'as-is' purchases without significant legal protections.
