How long does it take to buy a car?

If I rock up at a dealership to look at a used car and decide by, say, 11am that I definitely want it, what time will be be driving out of the dealership in my new car? Let's assume that the car has several months' MOT left on it so that doesn't need sorting for me to be able to tax it.

Dealer is an Indy. Car is immaculate so won't need any prep. MOT until October so no issue getting tax and insurance sorted. Really just the payment going through and any paperwork they have to do to transfer the car to me. Just don't want to make more than one trip as it's 200 miles and the rail fares are eyewatering.

Yes, I'll check and see how the land lies beforehand. The purpose of the thread was to see what others' experiences had been, you know, what with this being the car buying section of a car forum!
