New addition to the family - 2004 Desert Mist TL

Well, not having enough acuras is not a problem for the two of us. My girlfriend just picked up this sweet 04 TL with 15K on it. Now we have an 02 RSX (for sale in BM), 04 TSX and 04 TL.

It's got all of the old man gold features! The color (I was on the fence about it, but LOVE it now), Body Side Molding and it's Auto. Just missing the mudflaps!

SO, hopefully we can counter act this syndrome with a set of 18" RonJon rims, front spoiler and rear lip spoiler.

Check her out...

Gold is very unique color. I kinda like it, but very few dealers carry this color because it is not in demand, for whatever reason. The parchment interior goes great with gold exterior!
Enjoy the ride. How much did you or your gf pay for this lovely car?

Tire dressing!!!

I'm one of the old guys who like DM, too. In the sunlight it's awesome ... the paint just sparkles. Ialways used to get gold-colored cars, but for some reason I'm on a dark grey binge right now. So I got Anthracite on my '06 TL.

i've only seen 1 other member with this color, by far, this is the most unbought color besides red.

It is definitely one of the 'unique' colors...I actually saw a red one today too.

I'm surprised we don't see more, especially since Honda sold about 10000000000 Heather Mist Accords (we used to have one).

Tex: Yeah, yeah...the tires need some prep!

Price...let's just say somewhere between 24-26K...we got a good deal.

Enjoy your DMM TL. It looks just fine and you did get a very good deal. Very low miles.

I've seen a few DGM myself and always thought it looked good on the car. I just like the darker colors for the interior.

Nope, no Navi. But came with wheels locks and all season floor mats!

I'm very jealous of the bluetooth! None in my 04 TSX...yet.

I also like the desert mist. Our '03 Accord was this color. Great car, but traded for a Ridgeline.

Congrats on the new addition!

DMM is actually a very nice color. It sparkles like crazy and hides dirt better than all other colors in my opinion. If you're lazy like me and don't like to wash that often, you will love that color.

Former DMM owner, Desper, had one of the nicest and rarest (black interior, navi and 6spd) TL on the forum. Too bad he bought a house and sold it.
Your gf got a great deal with very low miles for an 04. Acura <3 haha.

lol just noticed this was an ancient thread.
