Are you sure the lens has a motor in it? If it is an AF-I lens, there is no motor in it. The body drives the focus via a screw mechanism.
If it is an AF-S, then there is a motor. I would be shocked if they don't stock replacement parts for AF-S lenses. VR lenses haven't been out that long. Many people, myself included, still shoot AF-S lenses.
The AF-I has a built in motor. I owned a 300 AF-I for about 6 years and currently own a 500 AF-I. Don't believe what people who have never owned these lenses will tell you about slow focus. It's just not true. At least that's my opinion comparing to my 70-200 af-s. Which, by the way, I've already had to replace the af-s motor. Have not had any issues as of yet with either of my AF-I lenses. (probably shouldn't have said that)
