"Results not typical" would be acceptable. "Results may vary" isn't.

Salesmanship includes business ethics???? That's a bunch of horseshit and you know it. Caveat Emptor. Let the buyer beware. If the buyer is an idiot, the buyer is an idiot.
Undercarriage rust protection???? there are numerous other items that could be listed that "salesmanship ethics" are questionable.
I would state that YMMV and Results not typical is pretty equal in my view of the world.

Consumer reporting organizations would get a thumbs up here. I'm sure if I got on the Intarweb and looked up customer experiences with Honda Hybrids... I'd find the real MPG ratings of this vehicle in practice as opposed to lab conditions.
(hands out T-shirts for everyone) I DID THE RESEARCH.

Correct, even just speaking to other owners gives you an idea as to what the operation of the vehicle is like from drive handling to fuel efficiency to cost of repairs and maintenance.
