we purchased a used car from a dealer,and are making weekly payments. The dealer sold the lot and now both parties are demanding payments.Who do we pay?

Inform both parties, and then tell each one the following:

I will owe the one who can show true ownership on the contract. Until then, such confusion is deemed a breach by each party and I do not know anyone until the matter is cleared because I am not legally required to owe double.

They freak out and someone will pop up with the paperwork.

Otherwise, write to the new owner, make payments to them and cc the letter to the old owner.
