More details to this question:
I purchased a used vehicle from a private seller. The seller advertised the vehicle as to having 60,000 miles and the odometer indicated 60,000 miles. However, after purchasing Carfax indicates over 300,000 miles. Records indicates that when the seller purchased the vehicle that the title had less than 60,000 miles, therefor I believe the mileage was tampered with prior to the seller’s previous purchase. My question: Is the person I purchased the vehicle from liable to me for the difference in value?

Not unless you can show they knew of the roll back. Unless this was an expensive car is not likely worth the expense of fighting over it if the seller won't take it back.
