Default a question with the ls460l massage seat function.

Hi I was checking out this used ls460l with the ultra luxury package. It comes with the massage rear seats and when I tried it, all I felt was some vibration and nothing much else. I wasn't sure if it's supposed to be like that and if it's broken, I don't wanna buy it. For those who has it or had experience of the it, can you tell me if it should be more like a massage chair/cushion with nodes that rotates and moves, or if it just simply vibrates. Thanks.

Nope, it just simply vibrates. I was expecting more of a real massage myself, or at least the vibration to be more intense.

If you want to feel more of the massage, pull the lumber all the way forward to feel it. put on the heat seat function also.

The car in question is working fine. If you were to find a rare (in the USA) executive 4 seat package, you'd have an extendable foot rest on right rear seat and roller type massage with remote control. You can always google the sales brochure for the year you're considering to see all packages and options.

Thanks for all the replies. So the cars with the executive package has a completely different type of massage?

right. the one poster who has it is in Ukraine and he describes his car as having all possible options. Hope you can make a deal for the car. Sadly, the driver doesn't get the massage. My Mercedes did it well.

Yup it's only that one bloody seat in the back that has the massage and I was looking at retrofitting the other seats with massage but from photos I've seen and what you guys have just mentoned I realised the massage isn't the same in the later years where both both seats have massage which is a waste of time in my opinion.
