I never heard of anyone successfully negotiating the overstay fine, especially a rather high overstay.
It's 10 dollars per day, so in your case about US$1800.
BTW, since you are already overstaying 6 months, after you've paid you'll be deported and refused entry into the Kingdom for 5 years.
Not able to pay? --> Immigration detention.
