Hmm...

(1) What rounding rules are you proposing? Your first example rounds
DOWN, your third example rounds UP.

(2) With that, your example rounds to hundred thousands, not thousands -
there's no way to do that just with formatting. You can round to the
closest 100,000 with:

=ROUND(A1,-5)

To round just the display to *thousands*:

Format/Cells/Number/Custom #,##0,
