What makes it "dead"? What year is it? You can always sell cars "as-is"/"for parts" for a some amount of money (however small) depending on what's wrong with it and what you're including with it (like the tyres).

What year is it, how many km, what is wrong with it?

A car can never be real dead, if the engine blew up you can do an engine swap, if the transmission fails you can rebuild the transmission, any other parts can be replaced.
If you want get rid of it you can either try to sell on autotrader.ca or just send it to the junk yard.

SE or GT? Colour? And again, what exactly happened to it?

A lot depends on what you want to replace it with. Some have got up to $1000 as "trade-ins" on GM products. Check their website to see if the promotion is still running and if your car qualifies.

First of all, is it mobile or not? That will dictate your options.
