Will a faulty Nikkor AF-S lens with faulty Auto focus still work on Nikon D50?

I have seen a faulty Nikkor AF-S lens being offered. Apparently it works but will not Autofocus. I assume the motor in the lense is faulty?
I have a nikon D50 which I understand has a focus motor in the body, so will this faulty lens still work with it and focus, or should I just give it a miss.

AF-S lenses have no hole for the focus actuator, so a focus motor in your camera won't help a defective one autofocus. Give it a pass.
