If you don't trust the salesman why on Earth are you buying a 3k+ bike from him?
Yes, green was an 09 color.

I don't buy from establishments I don't trust either, however if they are the only LBS that sells Orbea and that is the bike your wife really wants I would discuss the fact that it is a 2009 and see what kind of discount you can get. I got an awesome discount on my 2009 Onix because it was on the floor. The 2010 bike in her size may not be available until sometime next month either.
If your wife has tried the bike and it fits her correctly, then she is a lucky lady and you are a generous man. Does the bike shop offer a professional fit so that the bike can be customized to your wife's particular proportions? If so, it would be wise to consider doing that.
Best of luck. I like the green ones (I like them all, actually).
