Do you mean the forward lighter socket? (There are 2, one at the rear of the console) V70-XC70 2000

On a stick shift (I just checked) you can access the back of the lighter socket by snapping up the leather shift boot. I don't know about the automagic. Volvo wood, BTW, is just an applique glued on top of the plastic surface. I'd be reluctant to try pulling it up. The lighter socket itself seems pretty firmly affixed to the plastic of the console. Was the plastic top of the console itself broken?

And was the $400 estimate just for labor???? Or does it also include replacing the top of the console? Since that might also include removing and replacing one or both front seats, in addition to the cost of the console top, and removing and regluing the wood, $400 might be very reasonable.

You might possibly get a better price from an independent Volvo shop.
