The seller only has to buy the car back at the price he paid. That's what JFP just said - "buy the car back". I do think the seller could be liable for some of the additional costs the buyer incured - but that might differ state to state.
The seller could then go back to who sold him the car for those costs and any other costs he outlaid since he purchased it.
Much of this comes down to who changed and knew about the change to the odometer. It could go back a number of owners.
Weird though that the DMV knew of the issue but CarFax didn't? They get much of their info from the DMV so not sure what happened there - unless no one bothered to get the CarFax for this vehicle.
